FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
You could not have imagined the aloof, imperial François Mitterrand, whom
Hollande served as economic aide in the 1980s, countenancing any hint of a
slur. (Dripping with cold contempt, he would have dismissed the offender
with a word. We all avoided examining his Vichy past because of such
techniques.) Jacques Chirac had his own bluff way of discouraging
familiarity. As for De Gaulle, the very idea is unthinkable.
But the increasing polarisation of French political life is changing all this.
Over the past five years, France has been seized by an anti-Sarkozy frenzy
that can only be compared to the shrill excesses of anti-Thatcherism in
Britain, or, more recently, the heyday of Bush Derangement Syndrome in the
United States. Sarkozy, to his enraged critics, is vulgar, uncouth,
dishonest, unprincipled, and exhibiting Fascist tendencies in his
courting of the Front National vote. L’Humanité, the hard-Left daily, last
week published a front page pairing him with Marshal Pétain.
This is bound to leave an even more difficult situation for whoever finds
himself in the Élysée Palace on May 7, having to face hard choices and
placate nervous financial markets. Neither candidate is in fact a shoo-in.
Pundits still asserted yesterday that Sarkozy failed to make a dent in
Hollande’s advance. But polls on online news sites, in the night after the
debate, told another story. Two thirds on average thought Sarkozy more
believable than Hollande: these are the people who no longer dare speak
their mind to pollsters. It remains to be seen whether Sarkozy can pull off
the greatest comeback in French politics in the past half century, or
whether mud does stick in our brave new political landscape, and François
Hollande becomes the Fifth Republic’s seventh president.
